Hoig from India

Hi everyone,

We are a couple in our thirties from India, visiting your lovely country this weekend (23-24-25, too short we know but we'll be back promise).

Hope the wietpas won't be a dampener. Also hope we meet some musicians (I play guitar and any advice on finding good acoustics/home studio stuff/pedals will be more than welcome).

We will stay near Stationsplein so will be there at the touristy thingies. We will also go see van Gogh's imagination firsthand, remember the extraordinary little girl at Anne Frank's house, and enjoy all the pleasures of the Dam.

cheers
Sumit and Chandrima

Marco would be the man for that question. He is very informed on the local music scene. Did you have a look in the music thread? It's in 'Off Topic Subjects'
Have fun.... :lol: :lol: 8)

Not much into guitars but I did spend some time in RebelRelic last year. They have some beautiful vintage pieces. http://www.rebelrelic.com/ Also Dijkman Muziek has a great staff that will let you play just about any instrument in stock. https://www.dijkmanmuziek.nl/

You have been posted on the July Whos In Town page.

You can see who else may be in town during your stay.

Watch for Toke & Talks, I post them up to the last minute.
Or post one of your own. All I need is a date, time, and coffeeshop to post it.

By default I link your posting to your profile page here on ACD.

https://www.coffeeshopdirect.com/forum/membe ... le&u=67148

I can change it to a web link ( myspace, facebook, personal page )
or an email address if you want.

You can do a little practice shopping on the Coffeeshop Menus page.
Any with arrows are less than six months old.


Enjoy
